American Airlines In-Flight Entertainment System

Authors: Pierson, Thomas E.

AES Convention 17 · Paper 381 · October 1965

Abstract

Passengers are entertained on American Airlines' Astrojets by a visual and audio system labeled (naturally) Astrovision. Astrovision is basically a closed circuit television system, with a primary input from a video tape player, and additional inputs from a television camera and from a receiver for local broadcasts. An equally important feature of the Astrovision system is the two channels of tape recorded stereophonic music available to each passenger.
